उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय 33: धृतराष्ट्र-विदुर संवादः (विदुरनीतिः)

जिता सभा वस्त्रवता मिष्टाशा गोमता जिता । अध्वा जितो यानवता सर्व शीलवता जितम्‌,अच्छे वस्त्रवाला सभाको जीतता (अपना प्रभाव जमा लेता) है; जिसके पास गौ है, वह (दूध, घी, मक्खन, खोवा आदि पदार्थोके आस्वादनसे) मीठे स्वादकी आकांक्षाको जीत लेता है, सवारीसे चलनेवाला मार्गको जीत लेता (तय कर लेता) है और शीलस्वभाववाला पुरुष सबपर विजय पा लेता है

jitā sabhā vastravatā miṣṭāśā gomatā jitā | adhvā jito yānavatā sarvaṁ śīlavatā jitam ||

Vidura says: A well-dressed person wins acceptance in an assembly; one who possesses cattle overcomes the craving for sweet and rich tastes; one who has a vehicle conquers the road (by making the journey easy); and a person of good conduct conquers all. The teaching highlights how external resources can remove specific obstacles, but it is character—śīla—that brings the highest and most universal victory.
